Those Canada Geese sure get around. Are they fleeing the Trump Tariffs?

People used to go to the beach on the bank of the Thames in London.


Tower Bridge Beach, circa 1930s.

Digging kids say, "Hey Mum, this looks like a skeleton!"

That’s gross.

Have you ever been down to the Thames water edge?

It’s dirtier than any river outside of Detroit. Just absolutely stinks.

Hate to think of how bad it was in 1947.

Yes, in fact I have been down along the Thames in London. We were looking at some old Roman tiles/building blocks by the Tower of London.

There was a show on one of the Discovery channels (Cooper’s Treasure) where a guy would find treasures along the Thames.

Always meant to try mud larking.
I assume the shores close to London have been pretty well “ larked”

Putting dead people into the very waters that you drink from is the height of stupidity.

"There really was something significant going on in the Bronze and Iron Ages."

It was the best of Thames, it was the worst of Thames.

So the Iron Age ended in Britain in A.D. 43? Very clever of Claudius to invade that year, knowing that the Brits wouldn’t have any iron for their weapons.

“Always meant to try mud larking.”

‘The Lost Apothecary’ starts with ‘mud larking’ and ends in a murder mystery.

Apparently mudlarking is a regulated activity, has been for quite a while. :^)
